* [[EstablishingCharacterMoment One of the first things]] we hear about Lisbeth Salander, AntiHero of ''TheMillenniumTrilogy'', is that she was once asked by her boss at the security and investigation company she was working for to prepare a standard report on a researcher for a pharmaceutical company. The report was supposed to take about a week but dragged on for over a month, with her ignoring repeated reminders. She then silently and without warning handed him a report that, without changing tone at all, segued from the usual information about the subject's life and background to the fact that he had visited a child prostitute. She had pictures. And an interview with the girl.
* ''AStudyInEmerald'' contains a really creepy example. [[TheWatson Our protagonist]] describes the three plays that make up The Strand Players' performance: a wacky MistakenIdentity comedy, a melodrama about a starving urchin who's TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth, and a historical epic about the Old Ones awakening and conquering humanity, with the human hero welcoming them and beating to death the one man who tries to resist. And the entire audience, including our protagonists, loudly applauds all three. It's this exact moment when you realize how completely alien this AlternateHistory is.
